Dear Mr. Roddy MacLeod, and the National Piping Centre,
Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area! I'm writing to inquire whether it might be possible please to study with you (or possibly Finlay MacDonald) on Scottish Small Pipes, if I were to sign up for Skype lessons?
I've played the Great Highland Bagpipe, and now the SSP for about 5 years, (giving up the GHB due to an ear condition) for more than 40 years, and also have specific tunes I'd like to develop. Thank you. And I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Scott MacLeod

Typically, Steve Hartman's segments appear toward the end of the half-hour news. Hope you enjoy it--as I'm sure I will!Love,Carmen-----Original Message-----

Dear Carmen, Paula, Janie (my mother), and All,
Thanks so much for sharing about this Cuttyhunk Airing on CBS News on Friday night. I wasn't able to see the presentation.
Is this it - https://www.cbsnews.com/ news/cuttyhunk-island- massachusetts-jenny-slate- graduation-remote-island- schools-last-student- graduates/ ? Great to see a bunch of old friends at 1:24 minutes (Hi David Thurston! :). What an amazing community in the Cuttyhunk church here!
And might Gwen want to head to MIT OpenCourseWare-centric 'The College at World University and School" online -
https://wiki. worlduniversityandschool.org/ wiki/The_College_at_World_ University_and_School - after she graduates from high school, and studying from Cuttyhunk? :) Carter, too? (WUaS is planning home robotics for college engineering degrees, and building on Lego Robotics, with the Scratch drag-and-drop programming language, also out of MIT!).
(Check out the Engineering and Robotics' wiki subjects here, for example - https://wiki. worlduniversityandschool.org/ wiki/Subjects).
Just revamped World Univ & Sch's front page - http:// worlduniversityandschool.org - significantly. And our web platform is further in development.
See some of you in the second half of July on Gosnold's Isle!
Warm regards, Scott
If anyone's interested, I have an active 'Cuttyhunk' blog label happening here - https://scott-macleod. blogspot.com/search/label/ Cuttyhunk - with 112 'entries' in it presently; some of which are more Cuttyhunk-focused than others, so it can be worth 'digging' back.

Hi M,
How are you, and how is your weekend going?
This Google Streetview 'walk thru' of the incredibly beautiful road near Mill Valley, CA, which I called you from yesterday, doesn't do it justice, but it's still pretty cool here -

If I find my way to beginning a family, there's a number of reasons I'd think of moving back to Pgh including this Piping School (for my kids to learn in) - https:// balmoralschoolofpiping.org/ - and especially for proximity to Cuttyhunk, - as well as 'safety and civility.'

Just emailed yesterday evening the Principal of the National Piping Centre, Roddy MacLeod in Glasgow, to inquire about lessons with him. See too - https://twitter.com/ TheOpenBand/status/ 1142668818130468864. Am curious almost with regard too to Roddy (or someone there) to become somehow a producer for my piping CD next year in addition to lessons. (https://twitter.com/ scottmacleod/status/ 1142668500667785222 too). See my email to Roddy below.
More about the Cuttyhunk Airing after I get the WUaS monthly business meeting minutes out.
